Data and Codes for the Simulation Experiment

All codes for the reproducible simulation experiment of the HGWR model. This experiment is purely simulated. It requires no external data. All necessary provided codes are reproducible to recreate Figure 2-5 in the manuscript. Intermediate results are also provided for double check. Please read the "Experiment_Simulation.qmd" to reproduce the simulation.

Please distinguish file types by their names:

• The file "Experiment_Simulation.qmd" is the main document. It shows how to reproduce the simulation experiment of the HGWR model and compare it with GWR, MGWR, and HLM. In this file, figures numbered 2-5 in the manuscript are recreated.
• Files with names of pattern "Experiment_Simulation_*.R" are separate R script files to carry out the model calibration part in the experiment.
• Files with names of pattern "data*.rda" are simulation data created by the data generation process.
• Files with names of pattern "model*.rda" or "robust*.rda" are calibrated models.
• The file "settings.yml" includes some configurations for this experiment.
